N810 : Pbs with speaking software
Hi all, I am actually looking at software allowing my N810 tablet to speak in order to use it with Navit. I first tried flite and it work well but it speaks English and I have not found how to make it speak other languages ? So I tried to install espeak and it installs without problem ( says the Application Manager). But when I try to make it speak using for instance in a command line : espeak -vfr bonjour I get the error : wave_open_sound Pa_OpenStream : err=_9996 (Invalid device) Any help will be appreciated !

Well - as always also this medal has two sides. While I would clearly support such an effort (like OpenPandora but to make a phone ;) I would raise a concern about porting Maemo - to get a similar user experience as it can be found on the N900 there are still some closed source components that would need to be freed before it can be ported. But I see that there is a lot of frustration now in the Maemo community and also within other open source mobile hackers (the latter are already frustrated for much longer). I am 100% convinced that once a significant amount of money would be available to buy a significant number of devices a manufacturer or design house could be found which would open the design - effectively one would buy the design. But I would guess that the number of devices would have to be in the realm of almost 100k which we will most likely not reach. For the time being we can support the GTA04 effort: http://www.gta04.org/ I promise half my Lottery money as soon as I win. :-) Although some Go Language community fellow once told me Lottery is a tax on people who don't understands Statistics nor Math. I'll prove him wrong though _ COME ON NOKIA I think relying on Nokia is a dead end - we can not expect anything from them anymore (with which I do not mean the people inside Nokia! They are probably even more frustrated than we are.). For me speaking though the N9 is tempting and I would really very much like to play with it I will quite definitely not buy, mostly for pure political reasons, I do not want to support Nokia any more (which I really do not lightheartedly. I had the highest respect for Nokia but their recent business moves are 100% against my belief and the only possibility for me as consumer to raise a voice against a big business is by not buying their products). f(t) Cheers nils On 6/22/11, Paul Hartman paul.hartman+ma...@gmail.com wrote: On Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 2:22 PM, Ville M.

They are Apart from funding 99.9% of Qt development. First of all I said expect - this funding is already there so it nothing to expect anymore ;) OK, read not expect as not expect more. But also for this funding I would *expect* that they will try to get rid of it as much as possible since Qt is not a strategic platform for them anymore - at least not to the extend as it was planned at the time acquiring Trolltech. It started with outsourcing the professional services (or what it was called) already and I wouldn't be too surprised if they would sell Qt altogether again. I even can understand this and I am not blaming them! It is a perfectly legal and logic business decision. But it does not help the fact that Linux-mobile, be it Qt or whatever based, is not a business at Nokia any more. And Nokia being a business limits the potential support you can expect from them for things not creating revenue.

Re: Any news on N9 release?
googloids/androids have a big chunk of kernel which is closed source, and it is nowhere documented/published what it does on your device. So, neither of googloids are open source, for that reason I also exclude these kernels from my list of linux kernels.

Nxxx camera etc.
Hi all, is there a Java API to access the tablet's camera and/or stream video? i remember Jalimo was a popular Java on these tablets but not sure nowdays. Thanks ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
